BEFORE THE FANTASTIC FOUR: THE STORMS (2000-2001)

The third and final of these “prequel” miniseries focuses on Sue and Johnny Storm. The most interesting thing about it is that it has art by Charlie “Walking Dead” Adlard.

Instead of being a character-driven story about the siblings, it has them fight Dracula. For real. And also Zarathos. So we could also call this “Before the Ghost Rider.”

Zarathos actually possesses someone (despite the fact that in his own comic, it’s well-established that there were other Ghost Riders before Johnny Blaze–so presumably Noble Kale would be possessed at this time).

I will admit, despite not liking this book very much, that Adlard’s rendition of Ghost Rider is cool as Hell. Pun intended.
